Kast Iron vs Hye Jedi on
Mos Eisley AlleysKast wins 202 to 184
A
very close, very enjoyable game! We both had quite synergistic teams, and it soon became a big melee in the centre of the board. Hye's scarified Praetorite Vong caused mayhem, winning quite a lot of initiatives and allowing maximum carnage, while my unlikely combination of Sidious, Leia, an Ossus Vong and a Disciple of Ragnos sat in a group in gambit, fending off all-comers and taking down Yoda (while getting annoyingly sniped at by Hye's Death Watch Mandalorian for the whole game).
Both of our squads' Vong seemed to have some sort of species-wide breakdown halfway through the game, allowing our Jedi to gain a foothold; eventually after much carnage it was down to Leia and a 20hp Ossus Vong against Hye's Vong Priest, two Rocket Battle Droids and the Deathwatch Mandalorian, who was still sniping some distance away. The scores however were extremely close to 200pts thanks to the fight taking place in gambit, and I managed to kill the priest and just put myself over 200pts, with the only way for Hye to win being to kill the 20hp Ossus Vong (with Leia's CE save rerolls...) in one turn with his two Rocket Battle Droids (and depressingly, the first droid
did actually manage to hit and do 10dmg after two failed crab armour saves; thankfully the other missed, but it didn't do anything for my blood pressure!
)
Hye was a great opponent to play against, and I was glad that we managed to finish our game, it was brilliant fun! Thanks for the great game Hye, we will definitely have to play again sometime!
Next up, Yodarulz vs Kast - again we're a 7 hour timezone difference, so if things go as they normally do, our epic confrontation will be coming soon to a Vassal room near you in 2010!
